[HOW TO][UNBRICK][KF2][RED SCREEN] You have a red screen? Try this!

How to fix your bricked KF2/otter2 with a red screen​
Preparation:
Amazon recently fixed the secruity hole, that was used to flash second bootloader and TWRP recovery.
After you flashed TWRP recovery/second bootloader and rebooted the device you will see a red screen. You can do nothing at this point withoud a pc.
So to reopen the secruity hole you have to downgrade the bootloader via fastboot.
In order to enter Fastboot mode you have to have a fastboot/factory cable. The fastboot/factory cable is not the cable that came with your Kindle Fire!!! For more information about the factory cable visit this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693
Also you should set up all drivers and the Android SDK.
You can find the right drivers here!
Your device is not turning on? No sign of life? Then check this thread for hard bricked KF2s': http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415870
Steps:
1.)Hold the power button for 20 sec. Your device will shut down
2.)Plug in your Fastboot cable and power on the device. Your Kindle should now be in fastboot mode (a green light should blinking)
3.)Download the Bootloader file: otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
md5sum: 5b03a7b428325de8d360ec201a745498
4.)Copy the file in to the same directory where the fastboot.exe is located
5.)Open a CMD window, navigate to your fastboot directory and type:
##############################################################
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
##############################################################
6.)Disconnect the device and hold the power button for 20 sec again.
7.)Your device should now be working fine.

Thanks to @Hashcode for providing the bootloader file.

Good to see some sharing here.

4.)Copy the file in to your fastboot directory
[/QUOTE said:
This may be a dumb question, but where is the fastboot directory? I'm reading this as a directory as in filesystem, i.e Device/sys/fastboot, something like that, but from glancing around, I'm failing to find anything remotely similar. Am I missing something or just misunderstanding the instruction?

I believe he meant the directory in which the fastboot application is located on your PC, which is typically your Android SDK folder / platform-tools.

My kf2 is on 10.4.1 but its still rooted after i fixed the red screen the first time. used kffaid to recover it to 10.2.4. Its working as a normal kindle with root now. So if i flash twrp again. Get a red screen. And then do what the first thread says. TWRP will be installed and i can install a custom rom then ?

That means you either don't have a factory cable or the factory cable you made doesn't work. BTW, a "factory cable" is not a standard USB cable.

Once again, a "factory cable" is not a standard USB cable. When people say "factory cable", they are referring to a factory programming cable. If you don't know what it is, you don't have one.

This has truly saved my tail. Thank you very much. You are a life saver.

Hello, sorry for the English, but I am an Italian boy.
I have red screen on my Kindle second generation.
I just got the factory and I CLABE fastboot with green light.
Unfortunately in my Windows 7 Ultimate, is recognized as the Kindle I otter2 - prod - 04.
Can you tell me where to download the drivers to be able to run my Kindle?
Thank you.

I know i will sound stupid for asking this, but i need your help. Which drivers do i set up because i am not sure if i have the right one (Device manager says Kindle fire: android adb interface) also i have a android sdk with fastboot and they on the same page but when i type it in on the cmd it says it does not recognize fastboot. Is your version of fastboot the same as mine? And how will i know when it is done or when to disconnect. thank you!

Use this driver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1337103&d=1348009415
It's for the Kindle Fire HD 7'' but works fine for our Kindle Fire 2 as well.

Thank you, now my kindle in Fastboot is recognized by the PC as a Kindle fire.
I inserted the file otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin in the directory where there is' fastboot.exe (in the platform-tools). I typed CMD and then fastboot-i 0x1949 flash bootloader otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin but I received an answer: fastboot-i not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
I do not understand where I'm wrong ....

There must be a space between fastboot and -i
So the comand is:
Fastboot -i

it seems to be in fastboot mode - you have to fix your windows driver for fastboot mode, then you can continue with kfu.
driver (under android phone):
normal & recovery boot: -> android composite adb interface
fastboot: -> android adb interface

your device seems to be in fastboot mode - you have selected the wrong driver.
normal & recovery boot: -> android composite adb interface
fastboot: -> android adb interface
normal boot -> adb commands YES -> fastboot commands NO
fastboot -> adb commands NO -> fastboot commands YES
recovery -> adb commands YES -> fastboot commands NO
if the device is in fastboot mode "adb status" is allways "offline".
if you have installed the right driver you can check manually
with "fastboot devices" and "fastboot getvar product".
if you get response to this commands you are good to go.

i finally able to install bootloader and twrp.i thought i never make a mistakes.but unfortunately,during time im backing up stock rom,(nandbackup).i check all the boxes (for the left side) and for right side nothing.its running,when completed.its show huge amount of data (around 780 mb).i really think dat tis is normal for backup.in twrp,and video by tom gt,time for backup for 10 minutes.but me,already 5 hour still stuck in twrp.cant go anywhere.

if you managed to install bootloader and twrp then you are good to go.
you tried to make a backup of the stock firmware and now the twrp is stuck.
i don't know what options you checked, but this should be no problem.
just hold the power button for ~20sec till it turns off and try again.
check only options which exist on your device then the backup should be done in ~10min.

[Q] stuck at "teamwin" logo - twrp does not start - HELP!

hi
first of all iam from germany so my english is not that good.
i got a kindle fire a week ago from a friend. it was not rooted but in a bootloop.
somehow i managed to install twrp via the kf utility. unfortunally it was version 2.1.1.1 so i was not able to install a other rom via sideload.
i also tried the soupkit.
the last idea was that i just copy the zip file onto the device. it stuck in the middle an after 20 minutes i decided to abort.
now the kf just stuck at the "teamwin" logo right before entering the twrp interface.
i tried to reinstall twrp but that didnt worked. i also tired the unbrick tool with no result.
i have a factory cable too.
if you guys have any ideas please let me know!
thanks

nobody really...?

Just speculation. If this had the kindle software on it, then my guess is it tried to update to the 6.3.3 version, which is currently a real problem. Go to this thread and follow the instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2790183
Once you are rooted, please install a different wonderful rom, like kitkat, so that Amazon does not dump on you again!

what bootloader is installed, do you see a press power for bootmenu?
likely need adb/fastboot.exe files from KFU, download a twrp.img from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/blaze,
latest is openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-otter.img
verify md5 check sum
move adb/fastboot files (AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, fastboot.exe)
and twrp.img to same folder like c:adb
connect fastboot cable to kindle powered off, connect to pc, power on kindle
if you have non stock bootloader use
open command prompt
cd\adb
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-otter.img
fastboot reboot
if you have stock bootloader you also need FFF bootloader.bin
verify md5 check sum
open command prompt
cd\adb
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-otter.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin

[Q] Bricked (Stuck) Kindle Fire 6.3.2

My Kindle Fire is 6.3.2.
I tried to root it using KFU. I went to install_drivers.bat, and it says "google, inc- Winusb failed." For some stupid reason, i chose to ignore that and went on to root through the KFU and "Install permanent root with superuser" and now it says
Fastboot uses a different device than ADB.
You should check device manager for "Kindle" or "Amazon"
If you see it, rerun the driver installer that came packaged with KFU
Installing FFF...
<waiting for device>
So I am now stuck on a permanent logo screen (Black and orange), with no animation. I can turn it off and on.
Pretty much everything I try to do ends with "waiting for device."
I believe it has something to do with missing drivers, although I am not entirely sure on any of this at this point.

Windows 7 or 8?
Sent from my XT862 using Tapatalk

Maybe try the unbrick utility.
I'm having some issues with the KFU myself, after installing the drivers Windows device manager no longer sees the Kindle when it's stock booted. I can mount from TWRP but it appears under Portable devices as E:/ , not Kindle. Root and installation of google apps did not take, though it ran to completion and said all done. KFU hangs when it tries to activated Fastboot (4002) so many of the other options of KFU wont run.

We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire.
Make sure it is plugged in and powered on.

I have already tried the options on the KF Unbricking Utility.

Ok, I wasn't running KFU through administrator. Smoooooth...
The Kindle is now recognized when plugged in through USB, still says
Kindle
-Kindle Orange Fastboot Mode | Gen 1
KFU says ADB Status: Online, Boot Status: Unknown
I tried installing TWRP through KFU and now it says
Setting normal bootmode
Please wait....
The system cannot find the path specified

Thats all folks, TWRP has been installed.
Please tap reboot on the kindle.
Press any key to continue....
So obviously, I tried rebooting again, and again, and still the same logo screen, no animation.
Note: In the device manager driver details, my kindles drivers are the same as the screenshot posted earlier.

Ok, just switched to a Windows 7 PC. I just successfully installed the drivers using the install_drivers.bat in the KFU.
In the Device Manager, it's now showing up as..
Android Phone
Android ADB Interface
The Kindle still shows as the white and orange splash screen, with no animation.

THANK YOU!
I followed the video, and now I am at the point that the video left on.
So obviously I'm trying to install a ROM (Jellybean/ Cyanamogen). From this point, how would I go about doing that?
I just really don't want to screw this up again.

Ok, now I have another problem, with a completely different Kindle (6.3.2)
I've installed FFF and TWRP, and I'm trying to install Jellybean 4.2.2 on it through TWRP.
When I'm trying to move the ROM and GAPPS zips to the G: folder, it won't show up, even though the kindle is recognized as..
Android Phone
Android ADB Composite Interface
I'm almost positive this is because the Kindle has a passcode on it, which i forgot to remove before this whole process. This wouldn't be a huge deal, as a factory reset through TWRP would erase the pass code anyways. However, after I do the factory reset successfully, and then go to reboot-system, it will go back to the blue/white logo, then go to the white/orange unanimated logo, which it gets stuck at.
If there was a way to get the files onto the SD without going through the conventional way, it wouldn't be an issue, but i don't know of way to

You used fastboot.exe to flash twrp and bootloader, right?
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-otter.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
so you have adb.exe that came with it, use adb.exe to push rom and gapps to sd card
place rom and gapps files in c:adb folder use exact file names
Code:
adb push romname.zip /sdcard
adb push gappsname.zip /sdcard

[HELP] Did I just brick my Kindle? Wiped system and data and now nothing will install

So I was rooted and decided I wanted to go back to stock. Foolishly before doing anything I wiped my SDcard, deleting my TWRP backup. I went in to TWRP and wiped DATA and SYSTEM. Now I can not get my Kindle to boot. It just sits at the booting screen. I have tried to install several ROMs but nothing works. They all fail to install. I changed my build.prop to read as a Nexus 7 so that may be the issue but I can't find the build.prop file to edit it back. It's not in /system. KFU didn't help and I cant get the Unbrick tool to even run on my laptop (Windows 10). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure what you are trying to tell me here. I can see the Kindle in ADB. I can run ABD commands against the kindle. This is not an ADB or Driver issue. The issue is that I wiped the system and data partitions and now the Kindle has no OS and I can not get a new one installed.

Ahh okay. Thanks! I'll try that when I get home tonight then.
EDIT: Thought I could get FFF installed via KFU. I could not. Guess I'll have to order a fastboot cable to fix it

Finally got around to getting a fastboot cable. Now, how do I fix the Kindle? I'm not sure that it is going into fastboot mode. It just sits on a screen with the white and blue Kindle Fire logo and says "Booting..." at the bottom of the screen.

Still not working. As soon as I plug the cable into the powered off Kindle, the Kindle turns on. I then plug the USB into the PC. It sits at that same screen.
I run adb devices and it sees it just fine. I run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and is says "Waiting for device". I run "fastboot -i 0x1949 devices" and it returns a blank line. It may be a driver issue. I tried installing drivers from KFU but it fails every time. Any idea where I can get the drivers? I'm on Windows 10.

driver signature enforcement needs to be turned off, to install drivers from KFU
if adb commands work, fastboot commands will not, and visa versa
they are mutually exclusive
Could try running fastboot command before plugging fastboot cable in
